"the ones who have the resources to dig into it and use it to their advantage, are the ones who make out pretty good."

To a good degree, yes, but this notion that the rich pay nothing or even less than their fair share is simply an ingorant position. The top 5% of wage earners pay 55% of all taxes collected. The bottom 25% of wage earners pay nothing!
